I had thought this was acpi related earlier (before we realized that disabling
lm* fixes it). So I have no news here, as I don't think the solution is going
to be found in the AML.

The lm(4) sensor is probably getting wedged somehow, which is causing the bios
to think the machine is too hot on reboot. Even though it's not.

I don't know a lot about the lm(4) driver so I don't think I'll be able to
help much here. One of the things I do know about it is that sometimes you
don't actually even have a real lm(4), and that it's simulated by some other
component or even SMM. Maybe the manufacturer did a poor job. Shrug.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. Maybe someone else can debug it for you.
